SACRAMENTO AND THE STATE BOARD
OF TRADE.

The California State Board of Trade has
appealed to the counties to contribute to
the Boards exhibit of California products,
which it has opened at No. u Second
street, San Francisco. Fine exhibits have
been put in place by Alameda, Contra
Costa, Solano, MERGED, Yuba, Suffer,
Placer, Nevada, Sonoma, Santa Clara
Santa Cruz, San joaquin, San Benito.
Other counties promise exhibits. Eastern
tourists in large numbers visit these
rooms daily, and many of them deter
mine to make California their future
home. Sacramento, it will be observed, is
not in the list rs yet. Another week
should not elapse with her name omitted
from the catalogue of exhibitors. But what
Is the business of every one is the business
not made the specific duty of some persons
or committees it will not be iutelligently
made, and possibly not at all. If the rep
resentatives of Sacramento in the State
Board will designate committees to act in
each township; men known for their
energy and public spirit, and direct the
forwarding of the exhibits collected to
the delegates in this city. no doubt
ample products will be supplied by the
producers of the county to be forwarded to
San Francisco. Only one obstacle, that Of
cost Of transportation to this city, stands
in the way; but doubtless the Sacramento
delegates can plan ways and means to meet
and overcome it. The beginning of a Sac
ramento exhibit once made in the State
Board of Trade rooms, it will not be diff
cult to keep it fresh and up to standard,
for local pride and self-interest will insure
IT.. We ought TO have on view at these
rooms samples of our grains and hops, and
of our fruits green, dried, canned and pre-
served samples of our soils, clays, pottery,
tiles, etc; samples of our woods, grasses,
and fora; Of our citrus fruits and vine
products; of our vegetables, -four, and
general mill products, and Of most of our
articles of manufacture. These must be
small samples, that the exhibit may be
easily handled and not occupy undue
space, and be readily replenished and
changed. \ little vigorous effort is
needed and considerable public spirit to
accomplish the desired end. Sacramento
must not be any longer unrepresented in
the State Board exhibition. Her vacant
place there now is a matter of humilia

CENSORSHIP ARD RESTRAINT OF THE
PRESS.

The San Francisco Cal devotes I'M
necessary space and mental exertion in
response to the supposed demand of an
Oakland clergyman who, it is alleged.
clamors for censorship of the press. 1t
is only needed that all such persons should
be referred to the speeches of Lord Frs
kline, the commentaries of Joseph Story. or
to any of the long line of illustrous
thinkers who have made clear the reasons
why free government and censorship of
the press are incompatible and cannot ex-
list under the same social system. Very
true, the press has bad membership in its
ranks; very true, that some Of its repre-
sentatives cater to vicious tastes and con-
tribute to moral, social and political degra-
dation; but these facts do not constitute
sufficient cause for even the suggestion of
the abandonment Of vital priaciple of
free government.
That restraints upon the press, short of
censorship, which is previous restraint,
may be proftably and safely applied, is the
belief of the best thought of the age.

Justice Parker, mot its licentiousDess."

QUALIFYING FOR OFFICE.

The San Francisco Bulletin has declared
what is unquestionably the settled rule of
the law, and is besides sound reason, in the
matter of the officials of the State who
have failed to qualify as the law pre-
scribes. 1t is too forcible to be even ques-
toned, when it is said of the officers who
hare failed 10 qualify that their acts.
while exercising i constitutional or statu-
tory function mchallenged, will not be
disturbed, and that the policy of govern
ment will not permit their acts to be IN
done The BuIla5n soundly holds that if
the alleged failure of Governor Stoneman
TO quslify according to Section 900 of the
Political Code sustains the idea that he
never was Governor of California, and
that therefore, the commissions he issued
were of 30 effect, and invested their hold
ers With no authority whatever, then
" the line of illegal action or usurpation
cannot stop there. 1t must
take in ali the acts of the alleged unoual
fled Governor. What about all
the Acts of the two regular sessions which
became Laws by the signatprs of the alleged
incompetent Governor? Tie proclama-
ton calling the election b. virtue of
which Governor Waterman himself was
chosen, was issued by man who, accord
ing to the theory set up, was not Governor
OF California at all. It viii thus ae seen
that we must somewhere arrive at the
principle of de tdcto Governor, assuming
that the averment Of failure to qualify
according TO law is correct. That prisci-
pie is broad enough to cover the whole
case. Upon the whole, there
fore, the community may rest easy. The
four years covered by the administration Of
Governor Stoneman are not, in the official !
sense, to become blank.
Furthermore, the argument set up in the t

Robert Williams, of Sacramento, brought
home from Kansas City, says the Placer
Republican, a good story, which happened
in the booming town of Wichita. A real
estate man there one day bantered an old
farmer who came to town to exchange his
farm for some town lots in what was 10 be
one of the additions to the town site. The
agent said he had four lots left, which he
would give for the farm and take the differ
ence in cash. The granger, who had
truGged into town on foot, seemed to think
well of the offer, and so the land man
called for carriage and drove his new
customer out to see the town lots. They
were out some distance, and after the farmer
had looked them over the real-estate man
said:
These lots seem TO suit You pretty well.
Now let us go and look at your farm.
Where is it?"
30, saio the other, my farm lies be-
tween here and town. We passed it on the
way out. Iii stop of there on the way in,
and much obliged for the ride"

COULD not the Los Angeles Times more
proftably employ itself than to continue
snarling at this section of the State {?
We assure the Times that it is frightened
by the conjuration of its own fancy. Its
frantic appeals to its people to "gird up
their loins" against foes from the North
ern Citrus Belt" are amusing. Really, no
one-if we except the unwarranted and
mean attempt of a southern correspondent
of the New York Herala-has sought to
do the south harm. Up here only the most
cordial and generous sentiments are enter
tanned concerning Los Angeles and the
south generally. Envious," cries the
Times. Bless your soul, no. not envious;
we covet not your house, nor your OK, nor
your ass; but we do hope and mean to
fully develop and people the unsurpassed
heritage of lands we enjoy, and to profit
by your fine example ard happy success
Does our contemporary object to the en-
tertainment on our part of these ambi-
tons? Let the southern press abandon its
silly battling with the air, and cease to
fight where no foes appear. 1t can conjure
none from the central and northern Sec
tions-of that let it be once for all assured.
We shall admire the south, take pride in
it, boast of it and emulate its example, the
Times and the Herald to the contrary, not
withstanding.

A Paris correspondent writes: lie Jour
nal OGcioj has just published 4 statistical
report in relation TO the population of
France during the past year, which has
given rise TO much discussion in the Paris
press. Two facts are conclusively proven
by the report that in more than
one-half of the departments tie popuIa-
ton has decreased, and that the number of
illegitimate children is growing every
year. This latter fact the radical press
halls as a good sign, inasmuch as it points
to the total abolition of marriage, civil as
well as ecclesiastical. EIatrGuSigea1a, rep
resenting this portion of the press, advo-
Gates the legalization of concubinage and
the recognition of illegitimacy by the State
Otherwise the State will have to confront
grave danger. These abandoned chill
dren form the great mass of criminals of
both sexes, and their continual increase
account for the appalling spread of crime
in France. What is the remedy for this
condition of things? ask the radical
journals and they answer: Remodel the
laws governing morals. Give concubinage
a legal existence, and thereby establish its
responsibilities. Let the State seek out
the paternity of abandoned children (rather
Il difficult task, compel their parents to
support them, and place iilegitimacy on
the same plane, or if necessary on higher
one, than legitimacy, and all danger to
society from this source will cease. As to
the second evil, the decrease of the popu-
lation, nobody has any adequate remedy
to offer, as it is the outcome Of an econom-
ical principle; but the radical press thinks
a cure could be found in general revolu-
tion-a total upheayal of society as it at
present exists.

case of the Governor would invalidate all
the acts of the State Prison Commissioners,
for the commission of which the name of
Commissioner Boggs was necessary, and
also all the acts of our apparently disqual
flied Park Commissioners. But every enc
knows that such is not the rule of law. If
it were we should soon find ourselves in
never-ending trouble There would be no
official act upon which dependence could
be placed until the title of the officials
performing it had been verified, not only
so far as they were themselves concerned,
but also those from whom they derived
their powers"
1t should. however, be added that the
question has not, so far as we can learn,
been seriously raised, or in any official de-
partment considerably contemplated. that
the failure of Governor Stoneman TO quail
ify under Section 909 affected his acts as
de Jacto Governor of the State. The as
sumption that such 4 claim is seriously
made, we think is violent.
In this connection we notice that the
Alta in discussing this question mistakes
the proposition which has been raised. 1t
is not whether Governor Stoneman quail
fed or not before the Legislature but
whether he complied with Section
900 of the Political Code, which
requires that every oath of office" where
the authority of the officer is not limited
to any particular county," must be filed
with the Secretary of State within the
time required by law" that is Section
907), within ten days after notification Of
election or appointment, whenever different
time is not prescribed By tar" Now Section
905 provides that 1.-The Governor and
| Lieutenant-GOyernor must take the official
oath in the presence Of both houses of the
Legislature, in convention assembled, and
an entry of the fact must be made upon
the journals of each house" 1t is our
strong conviction that this provision re-
garding the swearing Of the Governor and
Lieutenant-Goyernor and making record
of the fact, takes the place, and was so in
tended by the lawmakers, of the general
requirement of Section 909 requiring sub
scription of the oath and filing of the
paper with the Secretary of State. 1t is
| admitted that Governor Stoneman COM
piled with the requirements of Section
9O5, did appear before the Houses. and was
sworn in. So then whether viewed from
the position taken by the Bulletin or from
the standpoint of Section 905 and to the
exclusion of Section 900, so far as the
Governors qualification is concerned the
question is effectual!y disposed Of

WHY WE HAVE NO QUARANTINE
STATION

The San Francisco Aha says the port OF
San Francisco has no quarantine station,
and adds that Congressional cooperation
should be asked for the establishment of
one. Very true. But what can Califor-
MIA say to Congress? That body offered
to cooperate with the State four years ago
in the matter. 1t sent a Medical Com
mission here to select site Our State
Board Of Health joined with it, and loca-
tons were recommended to the Legisla-
ture, backed by the earnest appeals of the
State Board, the recommendation of the
Governor in message to the Houses, and
an argument in print from the Board
showing the great and pressing need for
proper station, that ships might be cleared
of the sick, the well and i'll separated,
and pestilence checked What hap
pened? Some legislative correspondents
of San Francisco journals, confessedly
ignorant of the subject, raised an objection
to the scheme, on the ground that it was
plan to defeat the Chinese Restriction
Act, and compass the illegal Landing" of
Chinese. Though the REcoRD-U UNION
repeatedly restated the question and drew
attention to the unmistakable words of
the bill; though the State Board ex-
planned the whole matter anew, and
pointed out the error into which the
correspondents had fallen, their journals
declined to correct them, the legislators
were threatened with the antagonism of
the antl-Chinese sentiment, then rampant,
and the bill went by the board. The Sur
geop-General of the United States re-
ported to Congress that California refused
TO unite with the Federal Government in
establishing a station, pointed out the folly
of the refusal and INDUCED in some Bit
terness of expression concerning the short
sighted policy. We remember the anger
and disgust of the State Board over the
result, and that the physicians composing
it were greatly discouraged, and we know
tina; since then no vigorous effort has been
made to secure the proper grounds Why
should there be, in the face of such stupid
ity? So then CALIFORNIA; chief port mas
no quarantine station because some addle-
pated San Francisco newspaper correspond
ents frightened 4 timid Legislature and
their journals backed them. Suppose now
cholera ship arrives in the harbor of San
Francisco, what will be done? More
money will be expended in fitting up
grounds hastily and constructing rude
apologies for hospitals than the proper
grounds would have cost four years ago,
and the chances of preventing the spread
of the plague will be greatly diminished
The Alta is right in suggesting an appeal
to Congress, but what humiliation it
will be to the State, If Congress replies
as the facts justify.

BALLOONS IN HIGH LATITUDEs.-The
recent attempt made by some French
aeronauts to reach a great hight above the
earth has not been productive of any par
ticular scientific results. The balloon in
which the ascent was made reached an
altitude of over 10000 feet without the
occupants Of the car experiencing any i'll
effects, except tendency to faintness on
the part of one of them. When about II
years ago 4 similar attempt was made, and
the hight of p, 900 feet was reached, ii was
with fatal results to three out of the four
aeronauts. The success of the present ex-
pertinent is explained by the allegation
that the difficulties due to the rarefaction
of the atmosphere only begin at an alti-
tude Of $4,000 or 2l000 feet. This view
seems supported by the fact that IN the
Himalayas and the Andes nights Of about
10000 feet have been on several occasions
reached without any inconvenience. In
such cases, however, the ascent has always
been gradual. The i'll effects experienced
IN balloons are possibly due to the sudden
ness Of the change.-London Spectator
